Colorado Rockies vs San Diego Padres Prediction: An offensive encounter is anticipated

Colorado Rockies will take on the San Diego Padres on Thursday in MLB action at Coors Field. This will be the second of a four-game series between these sides, and the first two games have ended in a split. Which side takes the win here?

The Colorado Rockies picked a 7-4 win in game two of this series, and in this third game, they hope to get things rolling. In that encounter, the Rockies drummed up a 5-run 4th inning and rode that massive inning to the finish line. However, the Rockies are not playing at the top of their game right now, as they have only won three of their last 14 games. The Colorado Rockies are now 14th in baseball and 5th in the National League West.

The San Diego Padres started this series with a 1-3 win, and they had loved to get things going, but they ended up losing the game 2 7-4. In the game two loss, the San Diego Padres jumped out to separate 2-0 and 4-1 leads before falling behind for good in the 4th, and despite logging 12 hits, the Padres fell short. Going into Thursday’s game, Fernando Tatis Jr. led the San Francisco Padres with six home runs and 15 RBIs, while Ha-Seong Kim had three home runs and 13 RBIs. The projected pitcher for game 3 for the San Diego Padres will be Matt Waldron, and he is 0-2 with a 4.74 ERA and 18 strikeouts this season.

This should be another offensive encounter, and we can expect many close results here. The San Diego Padres had a decent start in game three but struggled to keep things going in the middle. The Colorado Rockies are expected to be at their best after Wednesday's win. Take the over in this one, with the Rockies expected to make it consecutive wins.
